BACK TO YOU. WANT TO GET YOU BACK TO OUR TOP STORY. A NOT GUILTY VERDICT IN THE LAKE COUNTY POLICE OFFICER RAPE TRIAL. WESH 2'S GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM LEESBURG. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? WE CAN TELL YOU THIS. THAT AFTER THE VERDICT WAS READ THE VICTIM'S MOTHER COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. SHE SAID SHE WAS FLABBERGASTED AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE. AS FAR AS HER DAUGHTER, SHE CRIED IN THE COURTROOM. NOW THE EXLEESBURG POLICE OFFICER MR. LARUE, HENRI LARUE, SAID ALL ALONG HE KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT. NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON WITH HIS LIFE. IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS JURORS CAME BACK WITH A VERDICT IN THE HENRI LARUE RAPE TRIAL. SEXUAL BATTERY BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. THE DEFENDANT IS NOT GUILTY SO SAY WE ALL. THE EX-POLICE OFFICER WAS ACCUSED OF MAKE A DETOUR ON THE WAY TO THE LAKE COUNTY JAIL AND FORCING A YOUNG WOMAN IN CUSTODY INTO A SEX ACT IN OCTOBER 2012. THE VICTIM'S MOTHER COULD NOT BELIEVE THE NOT GUILTY VERDICT. ALL THAT EVIDENCE, ALL THE TIME, ALL THE EFFORT, ALL THE DOTTING EVERY I AND CROSSING EVERY T, AND THEY COME UP WITH A NOT GUILTY? THAT JUST -- I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. HENRI LARUE SAYS ALL ALONG HE WAS INNOCENT. THE FAMILY HAS SAID COPS GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION. WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS REGARDING THAT? I THINK THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS IN PLACE FOR THAT REASON AND THAT IS TO BE A UNIFORMED SYSTEM TO CONVICT OR FIND INNOCENT PEOPLE NOT GUILTY. CONVICT PEOPLE THAT ARE GUILTY. SO I THINK THAT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM CAME THROUGH CORRECTLY THIS TIME AND I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT. WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS ON THE JURY'S MIND AS WELL AS THEIR DECISION? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THEY WANT TO GO HOME. I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO EVEN DELIBERATE. AS FOR THE VICTIM'S FAMILY LARUE HAD THIS TO SAY. MOVE ON. I THINK WE'RE ALL DONE HERE FOLKS. THANK YOU. BACK HERE LIVE. I THINK EVEN THAT RESPONSE WAS A SURPRISE TO THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY OF HENRI LARUE'S. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL BOTH FAMILIES DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THAT. HOWEVER THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO BASICALLY DO WHAT THEY CAN DO. OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE SHOCKED AT THIS TIME. THE VICTIM'S FAMILY WITH THIS NOT GUILTY VERDICT.
